Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 2463: Complicated Feelings



Yun Lintian pondered for a moment, his mind awhirl with questions and theories. "Senior," he began, his voice cautious, "do you recall what happened before you encountered Long Bing? Were you alone?"

Lan Hanyu's eyes clouded with a distant memory, her brow furrowing as she delved into the depths of her past. "No," she said slowly, "I was not alone. I was with... with the Golden Qilin God. We fought side-by-side, defending the Primal Chaos against the encroaching hordes of Shadow Demons and Void Creatures."

A wave of sadness washed over her features. "He was a noble and powerful being, a true guardian of the Primal Chaos. But the battle was fierce, the enemies relentless. We were outnumbered, outmatched. In the end, we were both gravely injured, our life forces fading." "The Golden Qilin God, in a desperate attempt to save me, used his remaining power to push me through a spatial rift, hoping to send me to safety. He remained behind, holding back the enemy, sacrificing himself to ensure my survival."

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly at the sacrifice of the Golden Qilin God. He didn't know much about him, but from this alone, he was definitely a true protector of the Primal Chaos.

He thought for a moment and said, "Senior, have you ever heard of a place called the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God?"

Lan Hanyu raised her brow slightly. "The Golden Qilin Kingdom of God?" she echoed, her voice laced with wonder. "No, I have never heard of such a place. What is it?"

Yun Lintian explained what he had learned from Xue Li, describing the six kingdoms of the Realm of Chaos, each ruled by a powerful being, each a bastion of order in the chaotic expanse. He spoke of the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God, a realm of prosperity and abundance, ruled by a benevolent emperor who embodied the virtues of wisdom and compassion.

Lan Hanyu listened intently, her eyes growing wider with each passing word. A glimmer of hope sparked within her, a possibility she had never dared to dream of. Could it be true? Could the Golden Qilin God have survived, his legacy living on in this unknown realm?

"This is strange." She furrowed her brow.

"Indeed," Yun Lintian nodded. "I do not know the details, but the existence of the Golden Qilin Kingdom of God suggests that his legacy, and perhaps even he himself, may have endured. However, before that," he paused for a moment and continued, "the place where we are standing right now is just an isolated space inside the Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God." "Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God?" Lan Hanyu was stunned. When did she establish a kingdom? Yun Lintian nodded and said, "It seems someone has taken your identity and established a kingdom in your name. The current Ice Phoenix Empress, Lan Bingxue, claims to have inherited your bloodline. She is the ruler of the Ice Phoenix Kingdom of God."

Lan Hanyu narrowed her eyes slightly. "My blood origin," she said coldly.

"Yes. I believe so," Yun Lintian responded. "This is what I find strange after knowing that the God of Time was the culprit. What is his purpose in creating a puppet with your bloodline? And what is his relationship with the so-called Lord of Chaos?"

Lan Hanyu fell into deep thought. She had been slumbering for too long and had no idea what had happened in the outside world the entire time. There was no way to find an answer.

"Let's go," she said. "Let's find this Ice Phoenix Empress."

Yun Lintian hesitated briefly. "But your strength..."

"I'll be fine in a few days," Lan Hanyu said. "Don't forget that you are not the only one who benefited from it."

Yun Lintian was taken aback for a moment. He had forgotten that dual cultivation benefited both parties.

He nodded and said, "All right."

"Also," Lan Hanyu took a deep look at him, "you should call me Hanyu. I'll call you Lintian."

Yun Lintian was stunned. Before he could react, Lan Hanyu had already left the palace and rushed to the lake's surface.

Yun Lintian didn't know how to describe his feelings. It was certain that neither of them had feelings for each other, but they had been intimate. It was impossible for them to ignore it. Shaking his head, Yun Lintian stopped thinking about it and quickly followed her out. After becoming a True God, the cold environment of Phoenix Lake was no longer a threat to him. Yun Lintian could easily move around.

As he jumped out of the lake, Lan Hanyu was already talking with Long Bing.

"I'm glad that you're fine, Senior," Long Bing said with relief. What surprised her most was Lan Hanyu's aura. Clearly, she had become even stronger. She subconsciously glanced at Yun Lintian and was stunned by his aura. How did he become a True God?

Lan Hanyu smiled softly. "Thank you for guarding me all these years. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Hanyu. I'll call you Sister Bing."

"Ah?" Long Bing was taken aback and quickly said, "No, Senior. I wouldn't dare."

"Why not? You saved my life," Lan Hanyu said gently.

Yun Lintian picked up Gui Xiao and placed him on his shoulder, then looked at Lan Hanyu. "Do you want to leave now, Hanyu?"

Long Bing was stunned upon hearing this. Her eyes darted back and forth between Lan Hanyu and Yun Lintian. What exactly had happened down there?

Lan Hanyu looked at Gui Xiao with surprise. "Gui Shen's descendant?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Gui Xiao blinked his eyes cutely as he looked at Lan Hanyu.

"Yes. He's the current Black Turtle God," Yun Lintian replied.

"I see," Lan Hanyu immediately understood something and sighed softly. "Back then, Gui Shen suffered a grave injury. It seems he didn't make it in the end. What about the others?" she asked.

"There are Senior Divine Phoenix, Senior Golden Crow, and Linlin, a daughter of Senior White Tiger. The Dragon Queen and her daughter are still alive." Yun Lintian didn't hide anything.

"Siqi..." Lan Hanyu's eyes filled with sorrow when she heard this. It seemed the Vermilion Bird God, Yan Siqi, was the only one who had no descendant.

"Senior Vermilion Bird is with me," Yun Lintian said gently and raised his hand. Instantly, a Vermilion Bird shot out of his hand, soaring into the sky.

Lan Hanyu stared at the Vermilion Bird for a long time and said, "Let's go."
